SpaceX says Tesla merger needs Musk's approval, discloses megapack buys

seekingalpha.com —

SpaceX said Thursday that any merger with Tesla would require approval from Elon Musk, who controls the rocket and AI company, as both firms have set up independent committees to evaluate a potential combination. The disclosure highlights shareholder risks including valuation challenges and conflicts of interest from Musk’s dual influence, while a merger could streamline Tesla’s energy-storage tech for SpaceX data centers and improve AI coordination. Regulatory scrutiny may be heightened due to SpaceX’s government contracts and Tesla’s large China operations, potentially complicating approval, with SpaceX also disclosing megapack purchases from Tesla.
